Let the devs come up with their own online scoring system for their games and leave gamerscore open to all gamers regardless of membership status.The fact of the matter is the INITIAL purpose of Achievements was to give a competitive aspect to offline gaming, a way to show off feats performed in the normal offline campaign.

There i said it, most of the games i try and buy, have like 100 points that you can get online,PLEASE GAMERS START DOING THIS. Kane and Lynch was Fu#king shit, are you kidding me, i passed the game 3 times and i get 500 points, WHAT? so i have to get 700 points online. So that means,YOU a working adult, or nice social person, has to spend the next month with racist/insulting/booting/team killing/HIGH/ assholes who spend all day on xbox cuz there can't really be social in real life. The last i checked i come online to have fun, not fight with pieces of shit that is the xbox community, i completely agree with the article, the best thing do is STOP BUYING the games that cater to a massive amount of online achievments. Lets face it, your not gonna have fun anyway. And the people that say quit whining, please, im fuc#king buying, last i checked if i buy a game i want to enjoy it, yes the whole game. I seriously think 90 percent of the KKK play Gears of War.SOME OF US DON’T WANNA PLAY WITH RACIST S WITH TWO MUCH TIME ON THERE HANDS.

I don't think achievements are necessarily a bad thing. I just think you have to find the right people to play with.Well, the best thing to do really, I guess would be to find a group of people who play to play and don’t play just to get achievements.

Robert AitchisonMon, 10 Mar 2008 18:58:13 +0000http://news.filefront.com/online-achievements-ruin-games/#comment-54011Well designed achievements encourage people to play in a different manner than they normally would in order to get the achievements.
For example the person who normally spends 99% of their time sniping would get a completely different experience from a game if he's trying to rack up x number of melee kills (or whatever).
I agree that the griefer achievements (such as team kill) are a bad thing though.Well designed achievements encourage people to play in a different manner than they normally would in order to get the achievements.

choice A: Create MP games that are NON-achievement based(just play the damn game)
choice B: Create MP games that are achievement based(let all the achievement whores here).
There. Case solved.I think this can all be settled with a choice.

In fact, they add to the fun of the game and encourage people to cooperate with their team.

Bigtime.
Yeah it sucks once in a while when you are trying to defend a Headquarters in COD4 and it comes down to your last guy and your whole team can see that he is just across the map, prone, trying to get sniper kills.
But it doesn't happen all the time.
Game Achievements keep people playing games longer.Achievements rule.

What did getting high scores in the arcades get you?“I’ve been gaming since the 70′s and while I used to love trying to beat other people’s high score in the arcades I really don’t understand these modern achievements. If they don’t give me anything, what do I care? ”
